The Fifth Generation (A5): The most familiar generation of cars for China consumers.
In 2005, the company developed Jetta A5 based on a brand new one, which was officially released at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The fifth-generation Jetta is the most misnamed Jetta model. It is still called Jetta in North America, Vento in Argentina and Chile, Bora in Mexico and Colombia, and Sagitar in China.
According to the explanation given by Volkswagen China, Satigar is named Sagitar, which is a combination of the naming method of Volkswagen’s top luxury product ""and a natural continuation of Volkswagen’s "Teng" series. Sagitar is Latin, which means "Sagittarius" in Greek mythology.
The seating space of the five-generation Jetta interior has increased significantly.
The redesigned appearance of Jetta A5 abandons the sleek styling style of the previous generation and adopts a more aerodynamic streamlined body with beautiful lines. The front face uses the big mouth mask of the Volkswagen family at that time. Unlike previous generations, the front face of this generation of Jetta is basically the same as 5, and Volkswagen has not deliberately avoided the relationship between the two. The size of the car body has increased a lot, which directly improves the seating space in the car, and the problem of small rear seat space of the fourth-generation models has been solved. In addition, the most criticized structure was finally replaced, which not only ensured the comfort but also improved the handling, making the performance of Jetta A5 more balanced.

In terms of power, the fifth-generation Jetta introduced two direct-injection 1.4 and 1.8TSI, and another more advanced 2.0 turbocharged stratified injection engine was mounted on the top model. In terms of transmission system, in addition to 5-speed and 6-speed, 6-speed and 7-speed dual gearboxes are widely used in the fifth-generation Jetta. The fifth generation Jetta has achieved a good balance in power and fuel economy.

In terms of safety, the fifth-generation Jetta undoubtedly inherited the excellent safety features of the Jetta family. No matter whether it is a frontal 45-degree collision or a side impact, this car was evaluated as Good. In 2005, this car can even be said to be the best car with side impact protection. In 2006, this car won the "TopSafetyPick" award. In the test of the National Highway Accident Center, this car got four stars in the frontal collision and the highest five stars in the side collision. At the same time, sagitar is also the first model of the same model in China with a standard system.
Sagitar is indeed a very good compact car of Volkswagen, but its sales volume is affected by the abundant models of the same class in the market and the relatively high price of Sagitar. However, Sagitar’s power system, its multi-link rear suspension, solid chassis and advanced welding technology are really unparalleled in today’s domestic compact car market.
